The Words of the Snow

The inhabitants of the village never stop talking, and because everyone wants to make their voice heard, they all shout louder than the others. Gradually the use of gentle, light words is lost.

It is the children who suffer most from this situation, as they are increasingly searching for words that have disappeared.

But snow changes everything magnificently. The whole village seems to freeze, words disappear.

The next morning no one has the courage to break that perfect silence, until words that seemed forgotten are spoken again in a sparkling new beginning.

A very current book on the use of words and its most intimate consequences.
